Top Home Chef finalist: Anthony Coury of Phoenix

Nearly 90 readers entered our inaugural Top Home Chef contest by submitting a short essay on why they believe they can cook like a chef, a menu for a three-course dinner for six, and a photo of the appetizer and its recipe. Next, the Food & Drink team selected three finalists. We dined at their homes before picking a grand-prize winner — the Top Home Chef. The finalists were Win Thomas of Phoenix, Shereen Thomas of Chandler and Anthony Coury of Phoenix. Today, we feature Coury.
